How does the wooden flooring on bowling lanes stay flat with thousands of bowling ball impacts per day?
In: 2219
Years ago I installed the lanes a bowling alley. It was very interesting. Brunswick was who I was paid by. This was a union job. From what the Brunswick guys told us they were transitioning to laminate that was made to look like wood. It has a special core to mimic the wood feel for the play. Each lane has two types of wood. Pine where you walk, hard maple down the lane and pine again where the pins are. Sadly they had to change to laminate because the lanes had to have a certain density (number of growth ring per inch) and couldn’t find the proper wood that was needed.
To answer your question. The wood lanes would be sanded and refinished Every so often.
